A Fierce Boudoir Beauty
I have discovered a passion within my passion …
“She is free in her wildness, she is a wanderess, a drop of free water. She knows nothing of borders and cares nothing for rules or customs. ‘Time’ for her isn’t something to fight against. Her life flows clean, with passion, like fresh water.”
~ Roman Payne
I started my life out in shell.
I was extremely shy until I was about 14 or 15 years old. Half way through 9th grade, I made a conscious choice and action to NOT be that person any more because it was just too agonizing being sooooo uncomfortable in my own skin.
Every now and then this part of me will creep up but I am OK with that because it is a part of me 🙂
Since starting my photography journey a year and a half ago I have discovered more and more depths of myself I never even knew existed. It has now become habit and maybe even an obsession and I want to continue to unearth new parts of myself.
I have discovered this passion within my passion, and as a result, I have also developed a drive to want to help other women (other people) do the same.
When my beautiful friend asked me to take some Boudoir photos of her I squealed with excitement! Boudoir is a beautiful way to express oneself … ones fierceness. There really is an empowerment with getting in front of the camera and releasing your vulnerability. We can all be so critical of ourselves. I want you to feel beautiful and to see yourself the way others see you!

I am a photographer and dating strategist specializing in natural-light portraits that feel confident, approachable, and genuinely reflective of who you are. Whether I’m shooting a Dating Photos That Work™ session or a high-level personal branding project, my goal is to create images that are honest, not performative.
My Approach
Rooted in emotional intelligence and over 16 years of experience, my process is designed for the “unphotogenic.” I believe the best photos happen when you feel comfortable enough to be yourself and seen enough to trust the process. A strong image isn’t about vanity—it’s about clarity. It is the first impression that shapes how the world perceives you before you ever say a word.
The Personal Side
My journey includes a decade of single motherhood, entrepreneurship, and a national CBS News feature on the psychology of first impressions. But perhaps my favorite “proof of concept” is my own: I met my husband on Bumble at age 42. I’ve seen firsthand how a strategic, authentic online presence can transform your life and lead to real, aligned connection.
The Relocation (Dallas & Minneapolis)
End of April 2026, my family and I officially relocated to Dallas, Texas. While I am now locally serving the DFW Metroplex, the Twin Cities will always be a part of my story. I continue to offer my signature photography experience in Minneapolis–St. Paul through exclusive quarterly residency sessions.
When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll find me with my husband, my son, and our beautifully blended family, soaking up our new Texas life (and probably hunting for the best patio in Dallas).
If you’re here because you’re ready for photos that actually feel like you, you’re in the right place. I’m so glad you found your way here.
